Are you paying CASH for real estate? When paying cash, showing proof of funds is very important and is often a deal breaker. This can be provided in one of two ways:

A Printed Bank Statement Showing the Current Balance (please blotch account number with black/magic marker), or

A Letter From Your Personal Banker, CPA, or Attorney (this method may take longer)

Failure to provide the needed proof of funds with your cash offer will prevent serious consideration of your offer. Starting a deal out with undermined credibility is not an auspicious beginning. The following items will not be considered as a proof of funds.

Impending Lawsuit Settlement, Inheritance, or Lottery Winnings

A Line of Credit Pre-Approval from Another Property

A Promise of Proof of Funds Once Deal is Executed

Verbal Assurances from your Agent That You Have the Money
